BRASÍLIA – The extremists who invaded the Planalto Palace this Sunday 8, stole weapons and ammunition that were in the Office for Institutional Security (GSI) of the Presidency of the Republic, in the Planalto Palace.

The information was released by the prime minister of the Presidency’s Secretariat for Communication (Secom), Paulo Pimenta. According to him, both lethal and non-lethal weapons were taken.

The images released by the minister show boxes of empty weapons and a room with overturned materials. “In each of these briefcases there were weapons, lethal and non-lethal. And they tried to set fire (in the room),” says the minister.

National Consumer Secretary Wadih Damous said he suspected the extremists had inside information about what was in the room.

“On the other floors they vandalized. They had information that weapons were stored here. They had information on what they were supposed to get from here,” he said.

In a statement, the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) said it will lead all executive branch bodies and entities to open investigations against federal officials who participated in the looting.

The bodies must “proceed with the due opening of administrative proceedings to investigate and exemplarily punish federal public officials who, having participated in acts of invasion of offices and depredation of public property, have violated the duties of loyalty to institutions and administrative morality which should guide the provision of public agents and, above all, against the democratic rule of law, which can be deposed for damage to public coffers and squandering of national assets”.
